I would also settle for a video of Josh Jackson taking a million jumpers a day with a shooting coach.
On Jackson’s insta story, it showed he has been on vacation in Europe since summer league ended.
It sucks to see that he may not be putting in much work this summer to improve his body and his frame while there are guys like Jayson Tatum who had better rookie season than JJ and yet is still putting in all kinds of work in the gym with various trainers and legends like Kobe Bryant. Tatum has looked considerably stronger as well compared to how he looked during the season.
I suspect Jackson will come into training camp looking the same physically like he did last season.
Some like Tatum and Booker just have that winning mentality.

She's not a Kardashian so fine by me. Just a temporary slam piece anyway. I can't be mad at him.
No, it's been reported that it's actually Kylie Jenner he's dating.

Agreed. Silver lining is maybe that Tatum didn't play SL and maybe took time off after the season and is getting in the gym now while Jackson did his work earlier in the offseason? Regardless, he didn't exactly look sharp or improved in SL. Work ethic wasn't a red flag for him so maybe this is just some time away for a couple weeks.

Well if what was on display in Summer League was what was the result of the “work” he put in, he’s doing it wrong.

It's a long offseason. There is plenty of time for him to take a vacation and then put in some quality time in the gym.

I have a feeling that Knight resurrects his career this year and is a MAJOR upgrade at pg for this team. In fact, I think the whole pg rotation is going to look very nice this year. Knight isn't a top 10 pg or anything, but I bet he plays better than Bledsoe and maybe even Dragic. (I have no real reason that I feel this way or could back it up at all)

I'd bet a month of avatar shaming that this is incorrect.

Haha! All the burden is on me. I have no data to back me up at all and the odds are entirely in your favor...I'm thinking about it, lol.

We really need a PG who can throw a lob. Knight might be the worst lob-thrower in the league. I have PTSD thinking back to his lobs to Chandler bricking into the side of the backboard (or going straight over it).

Agreed. Ridiculous to criticize Jackson for taking a vacation. No one seems to be questioning Devin Booker travelling through Greece right now

Greece? That’s a relief. I’d heard he was traveling through grease, and I thought that was kind of weird.

He can learn to do it via practice. If not, he doesn't deserve to be in the league.

I'd settle for a PG who can throw an entry pass.
